- I posted a query a short while ago about a utility for Unix which
- would give a directory listing of .cpt and .sit files--i.e., after converting
- the .hqx files, I sometimes want to see what's in the binary files before
- downloading them.
-
- Macunpack does something like that but rather more: it unsits or
- uncpts the file and creates a directory for it, etc. So it does, sort of, do
- what I want. It's available in the
-
- macify-13.shar
-
- package on sumex in the /info-mac/unix directory. It's a big package,
- requiring a fair amount of manipulation simply to extract this one little
- program.
-
- So there's what I found out, but what I'd *really* like is an ls
- command that would disclose the interior mysteries of .sit and .cpt files.
